Friend of son's put wrong code in and now TV says 'Protected' and will not allow me to enter the security code. TV turns off after a few seconds now. Any ideas on how to reset security feature please? UK Tv!

FANTASTIC, This works fine.
I have had this problem with my TV for years and this does solve the problem.

1. Set volume to minimum first.
2. Then put the set into STANDBY.
3. Press AND HOLD BUTTON 7 on the remote control for more than 3 seconds, RELEASE AFTER MORE THAN THREE SECONDS
4. Press POWER button on the remote control to turn the POWER ON within 2 seconds of releasing button 7.

TAKE CARE NOT TO PRESS ANY OTHER BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE OR YOU WILL RESET THE TV TOTALLY.
ALSO ENSURE YOU PRESS THE POWER BUTTON WITHIN 2 SECONDS OF RELEASING BUTTON 7
